Ladies, raise your hands, who is tired of the endless dominance of oversized, rough boots and sneakers, which seemed to have forever displaced everything elegant and sophisticated from our wardrobes? If you raised both hands, then this article is for you!
For many years, femininity, like Cinderella, modestly hid in the shadows. We were convinced that strength is in masculinity, that heels are a relic of the past, and comfort is above all. But, as they say, no matter how long a rope twists… Fashion, like a capricious lady, made a sharp turn, and is back on top – or rather, on the small heels of charming pumps with a flirty bow.
“Granny style”? Forget this stereotype!
Yes, you heard right. Those same shoes that may remind us of our grandmothers’ shoes in their youth are now at the peak of popularity. A comfortable heel, an elegant silhouette, a cute bow – all these details that might have seemed old-fashioned before are today a symbol of the revival of true femininity.
Valentino, 1977
The legendary fashion house Valentino, led by the new creative director Alessandro Michele, is creating pumps this year that are clearly inspired by the fashion of the 60s and 70s and decisively declares the return of femininity in shoe trends. Their new collection, like a breath of fresh air, is filled with graceful pumps with that very touching bow that instantly conquered the hearts of fashionistas around the world. This bold step by Valentino is a real manifesto, calling us to remember the beauty and sophistication that have been undeservedly forgotten.
Why are these “boats with history” back in fashion?
Comfort is the new luxury. After years of chasing the glamorous, we finally realized that beauty doesn’t require sacrifice. The stable heel and soft leather on the oval toe allow you to flutter like a butterfly all day long without needing to wear slippers.
Elegance is timeless. Classic shapes, proven for decades, will never go out of fashion. Such shoes are an investment in your style, which will be relevant in 5 or 10 years.

Playing coquettishly. A bow is not just a decoration, it is a statement! It adds a light playfulness to the image, that very “zest” that makes us irresistible.
Versatility. Shoes with a bow can easily be incorporated into both a formal business outfit and a romantic set.

Think for a moment: how many times have you given up on beautiful shoes in favor of practicality? How many pairs of shoes are gathering dust in the closet because putting them on is a real challenge? It seems that with the return of these elegant pumps, you no longer have to choose between beauty and comfort. You get “two in one”: impeccable style and the ability to spend the whole day on your feet without feeling tired. Isn’t that every woman’s dream?
Mass-market designers will probably soon start releasing variations on the theme of these charming shoes. There will definitely be a variety of colors and textures of shoes with a bow: from classic white and black leather to bright shades. Valentino already has, in addition to white and black with a bow, pink shoes with silver decor, shoes with a print and patent leather pumps without a bow made of crocodile leather.

The main message of modern style is simple: a woman can be strong and independent, while remaining feminine and elegant. And “granny” shoes are, in fact, our well-forgotten old trump card in creating a stylish and unique image.
So, dear ladies, get out your bow-tipped pumps (or buy them again) and boldly step into a new fashionable era of reborn femininity.
